SBS to air South Park’s Irwin scene

“Hell on Earth 2006”, the episode in which South Park lampoons Steve Irwin, is set to air on SBS on Monday May 14.
SBS has confirmed the animated comedy will screen uncut.
Last year it was reported that the episode might air later in 2008, after calls for the tasteless comedy to be shelved or edited.
But tasteless is what South Park always does.
In the “Hell on Earth 2006” episode, Satan throws a Halloween party. When The Crocodile Hunter turns up Satan throws him out, telling the “costume wearer” it’s too soon to be so tasteless. When he realises it really is Irwin, he throws him out anyway for not wearing a costume.
Other guests at the party include Hitler and Diana.
Expect fireworks….
Update: This episode was originally scheduled for May 7 but after the Logies announced a Hall of Fame Award for Irwin the night before, it’s been bumped a week.

I can so no reason why anyone should have a problem with this … I never liked Steve Irwin and I am horrified with how Bindi has been turned into a media puppet to make money for the “corporation” …
Steve took huge risks, played with danger and eventually paid the price.
Jack!
